GOLDEN TAPESTRY GARDEN
Warm golden hues and colorful foliage weave together to create a welcoming, ever-changing garden retreat
The Golden Tapestry Garden combines warm floral colors with richly textured foliage to create an inviting patio retreat filled with seasonal beauty. Hydrangeas, lilies, camellias, and fragrant allspice provide blooms in shades of burgundy, orange, peach, and white, while Japanese maples, barberry, hostas, chameleon plant, and pachysandra contribute layers of green, chartreuse, and variegated foliage that remain attractive long after flowers have faded.
Combining bold foliage with warm floral tones for a balanced, natural composition, this planting offers continuous visual interest from spring through fall, creating a welcoming outdoor space to relax, entertain, and enjoy the seasons.
